The 2022/23 National League season saw Wrexham return to the EFL League Two. They got back their lost mojo and gained promotion after 15 years. The players, owners, and fans are on a high for the upcoming campaign. Ben Tozer also showed fans that he’s in it for the long run when it comes to the team. Considering how players are joining Saudi Arabian clubs for multi-million dollar contracts, Tozer’s decision to stick with the Welsh soccer club is definitely a bold statement of his vision for the team. 

Tozer had talked about the possibility of relocating to Saudi Arabia for a lucrative deal in a recent interview. However, it seems he finds it more worthwhile to stay with the Welsh club for now. The club captain shared his thoughts in his interview with Talksport. 

Wrexham captain explains why he wants to stay with the team

Many players looking to the Middle East, with players like Cristiano Ronaldo making waves with their lucrative deals. But Tozer stands firm on his decision to stay with Wrexham. He stated, “Playing for this club is so exciting at the moment. It’s really on the up. The stadium sells out every week. We won a trophy last year. We’re hoping to emulate that this season. Like I said, it’s on the up. All the noise around the club, whether you like it or don’t like it is exciting. It’s positive. It’s a great place to be and you know I am playing from here.”

The club is improving rapidly as players aim to receive back-to-back promotions. They look more determined than ever as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney plan to invest heavily in the club. But Tozer also understands why players move to the Middle East.

Tozer continued, “I just think. Listen, the money is the money of course. It’s Saudi Arabia. That’s something that sets them and their family up for life. You can’t really judge them.” Most of these players moved after Cristiano Ronaldo left Europe for greener pastures. 

Cristiano Ronaldo leads the way!

After he fell out with Manchester United, Ronaldo left the Red Devils and surprised everyone by joining Al Nassr. He signed a contract for a little over $2oo million per year, making his transfer one of the most iconic in recent times. Likewise, his former teammate, Karim Benzema, and Chelsea icon N’golo Kante joined Saudi Arabian clubs for deals that crossed the $100 million mark. 

Other players followed suit after the Portuguese sensation led the way to Saudi Arabia. The financial deals for these soccer players goes a long way towards getting them settled. But for some, like Ben Tozer, money is perhaps not at the top of the list.
